Sip & Sketch Holiday Art Class – CANCELED
Sip & Sketch Holiday Art Class – CANCELED
This event has been CANCELED - Sip, sketch, and color at our holiday art class with archaeological illustrator Donna Walker. Learn how to draw the native plant Toyon Berry, also known as California Holly, then color your drawing with Prismacolor, an oil-based color pencil that blends and looks like a watercolor painting when you’ve finished. You’ll learn techniques that will give your objects depth and definition – gone will be the flat-looking images, yours will look 3-D! Then turn your drawing into a personalized holiday card for friends and family! All art supplies will be provided. Tickets include drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available) and light refreshments. This event is 21+. Cost: $35; SDAC Members $30

Ancient Echoes: Ice Age Pigments – Handprint Edition
Ancient Echoes: Ice Age Pigments – Handprint Edition
Have you already taken Pints & Pigments*? Ready to step up your Pleistocene rock art skills to the next level? Put on your dirty painting clothes and come to the SDAC for this all-ages outdoor art event where we’ll be spraying, blowing, and flinging our favorite ancient pigments like an Ice Age Jackson Pollock! All art materials will be provided. Tickets include coffee, tea, and light refreshments. Note: Child tickets do not include the use of traditional pigments (modern acrylic paint will be used instead). *Prior participation in our Pints & Pigments workshop is not required. About Ancient Echoes In our Ancient Echoes series, we look back into the archaeological record at the origins of many of our favorite things and breaking the conceptions of their modernity. Have you ever wondered about the roots of mead, chocolate, or beer? What about the importance of art, dance, and music to Ice Age hunter-gatherers? Ancient Echoes explores these topics and more, offering an interactive experience aimed at connecting us back with our deep past. Cost: $35; SDAC Members $25; Kids (12 & under) $15 Registration is closed. Limited tickets available at door.
